Next generation equipment and the cutting edge of technology, this is the place where early adopters live. Today on our test bench we will be taking a look at two such devices, launching us into the next step in wireless networking, 802.11ac.

The AirStation 1750 is a wireless gigabit dual band router offering compatibility with the 802.11ac standard, the next level up from the current high end wireless standard 802.11n. Although 802.11ac is still under development it promises to offer super-fast networking in the 5GHz band. To support the AirStation 1750 we will also be looking at the AirStation 1300 a gigabit media bridge also supporting the fledgling 802.11ac standard.
